You thought DeepSeek was enough? Wait! China's Alibaba releases a new version of its Qwen 2.5 AI model that it claims surpasses DeepSeek-V3; here's what is new in it

After DeepSeek AI's launches of its AI models, the US markets went into a complete rout. Seeing this, other companies have started rolling out their latest AI models, even before their scheduled launch dates, in order to stay ahead of the curve. For starters, Alibaba has now joined DeepSeek in launching its new version of the AI model Qwen 2.5, which it claims has better abilities than DeepSeek V3.

Has Alibaba launched a new AI model amid this sudden China AI hype?

This is a rather interesting claim, looking into the fact that DeepSeek boasts of abilities of being advanced and better equipped than ChatGPT. The Qwen 2.5 AI model is more of a detailed AI model, which works rather similarly to the GPT-4, but Alibaba is of the opinion that it is more advanced the the OpenAI-built product.

China getting ahead in the AI race?

Now it is not just DeepSeek or Alibaba, but many other Chinese companies, including ByteDance who are hurrying their launches and updates of their respective AI services and models. This is giving some tough contest to the Silicon Valley companies out there who are deeply invested in AI research and development over the last couple of years. This sudden change in the AI race has already created a major rout in the US stock market, and that could have a massive impact on the overall AI race between the US and China, according to reports.
